The actual worth of happiness

Hi there :)
for once in my life things are going pretty well - I survived the summer without any mayor breakdowns, just got myself a promising job starting only two weeks after I'll have finished my studies in autumn, my last day at work is finally within reach, booked a little getaway for my closest friend and me for next month, reunited with a friend I lost a while back and I've met someone that makes my head spin. You see, I have every damn reason to be happy. Yet, I'm not... at least not fully.

I seem to be incapable of being happy when those I love the most aren't. Of course, there's sort of a basic happiness I'm quite capable of achieving on my own (you should have seen me dancing around in public when I got the call saying I had the job :D) but knowing that my closest friend suffers from a vicious viral infection and that other people I feel close to are going through very difficult times, I just can't be happy for real. Call it empathy, call it dependency, call it whatever you want to - it's just the way I am.

So all I do for now is waiting for the day my best friend'll have recovered and I can finally see him again because right now it seems that happiness isn't worth much if I can't share it with him...

More updates coming soon

Love to depend

Yet another sleepless night... so I might just as well write down what's been occupying my mind... My working week started with being confronted with someone who played my heart and, so to speak, consequently hurt me. The scars he left on me have long ago faded but still, I need to pull myself together to act along with his let's-just-pretend-nothing-bad-ever-happened-and-I-still-care-for-you-oh-so-much game (btw why the fuck do I feel like I have to?). 
Then today, another someone who has hurt me not that long ago had a colleague of mine buy him and his b*** of a girlfriend tickets cause he couldn't bear it to face me and get them himself. Well, thank you very much for once again showing me how much you actually hate me, feels great -_- For everyone giving me (or rather my blog that is) a puzzled look right now, let me put it in a nutshell: a former friend of mine had this highly moral hobby called cheating. As I was friends with her bf too, I reached a point where I neither could stand it nor wanted to be part of her web of lies any longer and so I decided to fill him in. I can only imagine what she told him but despite it all, he's still with her and decided to act as if I didn't exist any longer. It's just like my friend reminded me recently: back in ancient times, it used to be the messenger who was killed first. Guess we haven't developed that much after all.

Putting your trust in somebody is such a wonderful thing... an exhilarating feeling which in most cases will stab your back as soon as a convenient moment presents itself. And in my often immature way, I seem to refuse to learn from experience. I've been there, done that... and I certainly will continue to do so because I know firsthand that all the pain is eventually rewarded with those who deserve my trust, who even put trust in me when I don't. If I had stopped looking, if I really had given up myself, I would now not be able to call some of what I believe to be the most amazing people in the world my family. I unconsciously knew that I was missing something - someone - and so I kept searching. 
Many don't understand how I can be so very close to my dearest friends that I even consider them my family and I'm honestly sick and tired of explaining myself (as if there really was an explanation btw so stop asking already!). People call me dependent as if it was a swearword... and unfortunately, I gave those voices power over how I felt about it for way too long. However, this belongs to a steadily fading past. Yes, I do depend on certain people. Yes, I do miss them like hell when I can't see them frequently (and I mean frequently as in every fucking day^^). Yes, I am that person who gets all cheesy with them telling them over and over again how much I love them. And yes, I am that person who overuses hearts in chats. That's who I am and I couldn't be any further from changing anything about it. David Nicholls got it right when he wrote in Starter For Ten that " 'independence' is the luxury of all those people who are too confident, and busy, and popular, and attractive to be just plain old 'lonely' ". 

No matter how challenging a day you throw at me, no matter how many scars are being scratched - I know I'm not alone in any of this and for that, I just love to trust and depend on others.

3.30am… time to get some sleep I guess.

Until next time...
